Everyone knows New Year's Eve is an extravagant holiday. It's the one night of the year to sip on champagne while watching the luminous ball dropping in New York City, even if it is only from a television screen in the living room. The attire that the evening calls for is no exception, either. Whether you are going for a night out on the town or simply staying in with friends and family, it's always a necessity to dress up for this holiday. The true fashionista must always look her best to welcome the new year and 12 more months of new trends, styles, and shopping sprees. Here are a few dresses, fit for every New Year's Eve occasion, that are trendy and, sticking to the holiday spirit, a little extravagant.
A Romantic Evening
From: simplydresses.com
Price: $69
There is nothing that captures the eye better than a red cocktail dress. Red is the color of romance and passion, and according to some studies, men are more drawn to women wearing red. This dress is very sexy, yet still classy. This ruched dress adds a lovely touch with the flowers and silver accents on the right shoulder. Dress it up with silver shoes, earrings, and bracelet, but avoid wearing a necklace because it will clash with the flower detail.

If you will be spending your New Year's evening at an upscale restaurant drinking Chardonnay, an elegant dress is a necessity. Although this particular dress is under $50, the lovely silvery lilac fabric gives it an expensive appearance. The bow and silver detail on the waist capture the eye, and the feathers are classy and not overdone. Accessorize with silver shoes, bracelet, earrings, and a small necklace, if desired.
Holiday Casual
From: Urban Outfitters
Price: $68
Sweater dresses are perfect for family get-togethers or stay-at-home celebrations. The forest green and burgundy colors are a great holiday combination, because they are festive, yet not overwhelming like the bright red and green color combination that Santa Claus is fond of. This dress has a very detailed, intricate pattern and can be accessorized in many different ways. Wear it with gray or black tights, a belt around the waist, a long necklace, heels, or knee-length boots - whichever fits your mood!

Accessorize with dazzling earrings and gray or dark blue heels. The Victoria's Secret dress is very sexy, and has a flattering bustline and form-fitting bodice. Wear this with black accessories and heels, or red heels if you're feeling edgy.

Mocha, olive, and light gray are three winter colors that always look feminine and elegant. The ruched dress on the left is the perfect length, accentuates the curves, and has flattering sleeves and a v-neck cut. Accesorize with mocha-colored jewelry and black heels. The dress from Alloy is very flowy, but not slouchy. The ribbon draws in the waist, and the long sleeves create a bohemian feel. Wear with black or gray tights, heels or knee-length boots, and silver accessories.
Whichever style you choose for your New Year's celebration, make sure you wear your dress with confidence and add your own personal flair, and you will be sure to dazzle your way into 2011. Bonne Année!
